Very cool. Since you're the creative foodie type, do you have a good eggnog recipe for us, something with a twist?
You can add a little pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice for a twist and of course the spirit of your choice.
Mmmm very nice! I am thinking of making coquito, and reserving some of the mixture to use as a base for other coconut drinks. I also want to make some herbal/coconut mixtures, say lemongrass, mint, rosemary, basil...let those steep for a few days, and then use those as base for other drinks. A coconut margarita on the rocks is delightful. Granted, better served in warm weather but the time for experimentation is now
Lucky students. University cuisine is notoriously bad, and I never feel like it has to be.
We actually did have one fairly good dining establishment, won lots of awards and stuff. But actually, only about two things there were good enough that I would have paid real money.

I used to hate spirits in eggnog. Then, I discovered that I was not supposed to be making a cocktail-strength drink, but just adding a bit of flavor. So now, instead of a jigger of whiskey or rum, I use about a tablespoon. Yum!
